2008-07-10x86, VisWS: turn into generic arch, eliminate Kconfig specialsIngo Molnar
remove leftover traces of various VISWS related Kconfig specials. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-01-30x86: remove depends on X86_32 from PARAVIRT & PARAVIRT_GUESTEduardo Pereira Habkost
With this, the paravirt_ops code can be enabled on x86_64 also. Each guest implementation (Xen, VMI, lguest) now depends on X86_32. The dependencies can be dropped for each one when they start to support x86_64.

2007-11-29lguest: prevent VISWS or VOYAGER randconfigsRandy Dunlap
Keep lguest from being enabled on VISWS or VOYAGER configs, just as is already done for VMI and XEN. Otherwise randconfigs with VISWS and LGUEST have this problem: In file included from arch/x86/kernel/setup_32.c:61: include/asm-x86/mach-visws/setup_arch.h:8:1: warning: "ARCH_SETUP" redefined In file included from include/asm/msr.h:80, from include/asm/processor_32.h:17, from include/asm/processor.h:2, from include/asm/thread_info_32.h:16, from include/asm/thread_info.h:2, from include/linux/thread_info.h:21, from include/linux/preempt.h:9, from include/linux/spinlock.h:49, from include/linux/seqlock.h:29, from include/linux/time.h:8, from include/linux/timex.h:57, from include/linux/sched.h:53, from arch/x86/kernel/setup_32.c:24: include/asm/paravirt.h:458:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition (and of course, this happens because kconfig does not follow dependencies when [evil] select is used...)

2007-10-23Lguest support for VirtioRusty Russell
This makes lguest able to use the virtio devices. We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data. We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the host when it changes. We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early console output. We could have another hypercall, but this hack works quite well. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementationRusty Russell
These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors which want to use a ring for virtio. Unlike the previous lguest implementation: 1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements). 2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element. 3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?) 4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate cacheline. 5) We do a modulo on a variable. We could be tricky if we cared. 6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings. Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).

2007-10-23Move lguest guest support to arch/x86.Rusty Russell
Lguest has two sides: host support (to launch guests) and guest support (replacement boot path and paravirt_ops). This moves the guest side to arch/x86/lguest where it's closer to related code. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
